Used Humidor Clean Up

[UnionCityCuban]

Hey guys,
I just picked up a 160 CT Diamond Crown Humidor used, she's in great condition. Do you guys recommend i clean the inside or just flip it and get the loose tobacco left inside. also do you guys use anything to clean the exterior normally i just use a damp cloth or just dust it off? Will post pictures ASAP. Thank you in advance for your help with this matter.

You can use a dry swiffer duster for the inside, or compressed air, but NEVER use any kind of cleaning products on the cedar inside a humidor.
If it has a nasty, musty smell you can leave it open in a room with good circulation, but never leave it outside or in the sun.
I also wouldn't recommend any cleaning products on the outside, because you're always risking some transfer to the cedar lining. I've spot-cleaned the outside of mine using a mix of 1 part vinegar to like 10 parts water, very carefully.
A damp cloth should be alright for the outside as long as it's clean and just water, but I think a dry microfiber should do just as well.

Congrats on the new gear.
Make sure you're using distilled water. But dry is best, as jj recommended above.
Personally, I'd discard any used rh pad, puck, or beads from a previous user, and use Bodeva for RH.
